Gee, I love how this country is based on freedom of religion--as long as it's not Christianity. ANY OTHER religion gets a fair shake in the media and is treated with kid gloves. Christianity, on the other hand, is ridiculed, scorned as second-class, and Christians are portrayed on TV as backwater hicks or maniacal crazy people.This man is apparently a Christian, nbut yet he is ridiculed for not wanting to cowtow to Muslims.

Christianity does not endorse hate...You may say all day you are a Christian but it is your actions that speak. Rewrite this letter but change the word Bible to Koran and Koran to Bible--Now how do you as a Christian feel? To remain a united nation we must continue to have tolerance of others beliefs. It is through love that they will see your God not through hate or discrimination. Mr. Goode, you may be a Christian but I don't want any part of your belief system.

Ironically, the much-maligned French may finally be the ones who sound the alarm:

Robert Redeker, a French teacher, received death threats after writing an opinion piece condemning Islam. A group of French intellectuals responded with "appel en faveur de Robert Redeker" ("An appeal in support of Robert Redeker")

They see their most fundamental liberties endangered by a handful of fanatics under the pretense of relgious laws, and decry the tendency in Europe to avoid "provocations" in order to not anger supposed foreign sensitivities.
